Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F#][Em][C]
[G][F#][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]You walk down alameda
[F#]shuffling your deck of trick [Em]cards
over every[C]one
Like some [G]precious only [F#]son
[Em]Face down, bow to the champion[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]You walk down alameda
[F#]looking at the cracks
in the side[Em]walk
Thinking about your [C]friends
How you [G]maintain all them [F#]in
[Em]a constant state of suspense[C]

[Chorus 1]
For your [Am]own pro[B]tection
[Em]over their[G] affection
[Bb]No- body broke your [Dm]heart
You [Gm]broke your [C]own
'cause you can't [F]finish what you start

[Verse 3]
[G]Walk down alameda
[F#]brushing off the nightmares you [Em]wish
Could plague me when I'm a[C]wake
And now you [G]see your first mis[F#]take
[Em]was thinking that you could relate[C]

[Bridge 1]
For [G]one or [C]two
minutes she liked [D]you[Em]
But [G]the fix [C]is in

[Interlude 1]
[G][F#][Em][C]
[G][F#][Em][C]

[Chorus 2]
You're [Am]all pre[B]tension
[Em]I never pay [G]attention
[Bb]No- body broke your [Dm]heart
You [Gm]broke your [C]own
'cause you can't [F]finish what you [G]start
[Bb]No- body broke your [Dm]heart
You [Gm]broke your [C]own
'cause you can't [F]finish what you [G]start
[Bb]No- body broke your [Dm]heart
You [Gm]broke your [C]own
'cause you can't [F]finish what you [G]start
[Bb]No- body broke your [Dm]heart
If [Gm]you're a[C]lone
it must be [F]you that wants to be [G]apart

[Outro 1]
[Bb][Dm]
[Gm][C][F][G]
[Bb]
